Congratulations are in order for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex!

Just this afternoon, hours after touching down in Sydney for their royal tour, the palace has officially confirmed the two are expecting their first child together.

"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019," the statement from the palace read.

"Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public."

The news comes just hours after the royal couple arrived in Sydney. The Duchess aroused some suspicions when she was seen carrying two large files in front of her stomach when deplaning. She was also pictured at Princess Eugenie's royal wedding on Friday wearing a loose-fitting coat, which some thought an indicator.
